Pictures speak louder than words so this post is more of the former. ;)

Hemlock Ring blanket. After Row 46. (true colour of yarn shown here)

... After row 62.

I desperately needed a new pair.
These knit from 3 strands of leftover sock yarn.

These also knit from 3 strands of leftover sock yarn with cute pom poms for a 5 yr old sweetie.

A highly modified version of Mr Greenjeans cardi from Knitty.

Instead of YOs for raglan increases, I used M1.

I totally changed the cable pattern and lengthened the cardi to cover my butt -- total length 28".

The buttonband was knit seperately and sewn in place as I went along. It's a good way to control the spacing of the buttonholes.

The buttons were a bargain find and really don't do justice to the cardi but all in all, I'm satisfied.

This fibre from the Yarn Yard fiber club was in my mailbox yesterday.

It's a merino/tencel blend .... dreamy soft!

Included in the fiber package was a sample of pure white. I spun & navajo plied it. I love the result! It's very soft and will have wonderful drape when knitted up.
